Dual Triple Parallel Coil, 32 gauge kanthal, 1mm diameter =1-1.1 phms

One word: YUM

The vapor production is poorer than the dual parallel, but the flavor!!! It's DABOMB

First Time DIY Ejuice

I consume about 3 bottles of 10 ml ejuice every 2-3 weeks. That amounts to 500 pesos. I've always regarded vaping as more expensive, but healthier, than smoking but I wondered if I could bring down the cost by some pesos. I researched about making my own ejuice and after about a month of thinking about it, I finally took the plunge!

I went to my suking Denkat kiosk in Robinsons Galleria and chatted a bit with my pal, the kiosk minder. I should get his name. He's been very helpful throughout my vaping journey. Anyway, so I bought my supplies.

110 ml pure VG
110 ml pure PG
30 ml PG-based 36 mg concentrate Nicotine solution
6 ml Strawberry flavor

I also went to Mercury Drug to buy a 1 ml/cc insulin syringe.

So all in all, my supplies cost 912 pesos.

I went and made a 40/60 PG/VG ejuice. I tried to make a 6mg nicotine ejuice, but I think I botched the exactness of my measure. I used an app from the Play Store to calculate the mixture. I was able to make 4 bottles. I'll make some more today.

How does it taste? Without steeping, the pure strawberry flavored ejuice is yum :D It's gonna steep for about a week.

Same-side Dual Nano Coil

I did something new! Well, I've been wanting to build a dual coil, but the teeny deck on the UDA made it complicated. I thought It wouldn't be manageable.

I found that it's possible to place both coils on one side. So they're side-by-side (on top of one another but not touching) on one side now. It's vaping lots of vapor. Flavor... not as much. Though it could be due to the silica wick I'm using (instead of cotton).

One big reason for me wanting to use silica is because it doesn't burn. So less burnt taste?? I hope.

Cotton Wicking

I've been using cotton wicks on my builds for about two weeks now. What can I say about using cotton instead of silica? It's tastier, cheaper, and easier to manipulate into shape.

BUT it burns. Burnt taste is easy to accomplish, if that's what you like :P

Parallel microcoil 32 gauge around 1.5 mm diameter = 1.5 ohm

So I built a parallel coil using a 3 inches of 32 gauge Kanthal. Resistance came up to around 1.5 ohms. At 3.5 volts, the vape is alright. Taste should be better but it's not really that much of an improvement over the earlier microcoil I did. Throat hit is tops, vapor production is great... flavor... not yet there.

This one is a microcoil too. Around 1.5 mm diameter mini flathead screwdriver.

Diamond Nano Coil using 28 Gauge

Urm, FAIL.

The teeny space between the 2 posts of the UDA couldn't support the diamond coil shape. The 2 bottom coils just wouldn't stay put.

The 28 Gauge wire sucks at being shaped.

Microcoil around 1 mm diameter, 32 gauge kanthal

Holy. Cow. The. Flavor. Is. Intense. Vapor is thick and dense. Well, thicker and denser than anything I've produced so far.

3 inches of wire, with around 3 mm leads each. I haven't tested the resistance but it's bound to be 2+ ohms.

Teeny amount of cotton wicking.

Thumbs waaay up.
